-four-

Another day, Killa walked to school, ignoring a Lysander man who followed her day after day to keep an eye on her. Before she went inside the school, she witnessed a white-haired guy fighting with a group of people. 

"Fuck!" A tan guy fell down because of a white-haired guy's fist.

"You bastard!!" And then another guy scolded the white-haired guy, raised his fist to him, and then cloud hair dodged and punched him in the other guy's stomach.

"Punch me one more time, Sucker..." A white-haired guy, or the cloud hair as Killa pictured it to be, said back.

'He seemed to know how to fight,' Killa thought while standing there watching them. She tried to figure out which side was the victim and which was the predator, but from her perspective, the only one who stood on his own against the rest tended to be the victim.

"You have a sharp tongue! Should I just cut it out!!?" A big tan guy, the predator number one, got up, squeezed his cheek, and pushed the cloud person, victim, down

"If you can…" the victim pushed himself to stand up,

'He's so tall and quite big,' Killa thought while standing, being an invisible audience.

She stood there, but no one noticed her. She calmed down and did not get involved in this situation. She thought back to Maki's suggestion to 'avoid drama,' and another girl said, 'not to find any troubles,' and a guy with pink hair, Senpai said, 'I don't like violence.' she exhaled, "Fuck," She didn't intentionally say out loud and rolled her eyes, but the victim, cloud guy, glanced at her before she walked away.

"I'll cut your tongue out!" Predator number one said, pulled a knife out of his pocket and then moved it forward to the victim.

Thud!!!

And then there was something falling down on the predator number one, "The fuck!?" He shouted.

Thud!!!

And then another fell down on another guy's head, the predator number two.

"What the fuck is this?" the predator number one asked furiously,

"It's mango," the predator number two.

"Mango?" The predator number three repeated him and picked up another one on the floor.

Suddenly, Killa jumped down from the tree behind the wall onto the ground right in front of them,

"What the!!" All of them were shocked by mangoes, or perhaps by someone jumping right in front of them, or because they saw something under her skirt when she jumped.

"I'm sorry. I was getting mangoes...What are you guys doing here?" Killa asked nonchalantly,

They were still shocked by what happened, and seeing a beautiful girl in front of them made them a little red and speechless, especially her panties.

Ringgg!!

Then, a school sound told students to get to class.

"Wow—It's time to go to class. I gotta go," Killa's acting was so emotionless, but she tried her best and smiled at them.

"Yes, yes..." They agreed to her obediently.

"You should, too." Killa turned back to the victim and told him in a soft voice, and she left them. Unexpectedly, all the guys followed her and got inside the school.

'Did she help me? I thought she had left...but it was a strange plan,' A white hair guy thought, then he chuckled, "She acted like a robot," he said,

Killa walked herself to her class. The three predators were still following her, but they weren't in her sight at one bit. She got to class a little bit late, and there was already a homeroom session.

"You're late, Miss Lysander," A homeroom teacher said,

"Yes," She didn't deny, and everybody looked at her stunningly,

"Huh, go to your seat, please, " the homeroom teacher said. Killa walked to her desk table and sat like nothing had happened. Maki turned to see her and smiled at Killa, then did the same.

"What are you doing?!" The homeroom teacher said loudly, making all the students turn their faces at him. After noticing the group of guys was also about to get into the class.

'Shit,' Killa swore in her head.

"Oh, sorry, teacher. I just..." Predators number one and the rest struggled to explain. They glanced at Killa's face with dreaming eyes and blushed all over their faces. All the classmates turned to look at Killa, including Maki

"Out now!!" The homeroom teacher scolded them and pushed them out.

Cafeteria

"You..." Maki said,

"What?" Killa asked,

"Aren't you gonna tell me?" She asked back,

"Tell you what?" Killa asked her back while putting a spoon of rice in her mouth.

"Those guys who followed you in the room!?" Maki raised her voice,

"It's just—I tried not to have any troubles," Killa said,

Maki was waiting for her to spoil it, but she was too slow. "And...?"

"So I just said I gotta go to class,"

"That's it?" Maki asked, and then Killa nodded. "It's gotta be something here," Maki looked at her with upsetting face,

"I smiled at them, and that's it...really," Killa said,

"Hahahahahaha," Maki burst a laugh, and other students turned to look at her.

'Maki, I can see your uvula,' Killa thought.

"Now I know why..." Maki made a teasing face at her, and then Killa noticed a pink-haired guy walking past the automatic drink machine, and then he glanced at her. Killa hurried, turning her face to Maki instantly. "What is it?" Maki asked. Killa shook her head, and Maki turned back and noticed a guy whom Killa locked eyes on. "You know him already?" Maki asked,

"He took me to the principal's office on the first day," Killa said,

"Hmm, I see...why do you look so nervous now?" Maki asked confusedly,

"He's pretty," Killa said bluntly,

Maki opened her eyes widely, "You like him, don't you!?"

"Like? Maybe...I love to watch him," Killa said truthfully, but she was unsure what she felt towards Senpai.

"You…are so fucking honest...I love it!! Then why did you avoid him?" Maki was getting used to her innocently honest response.

"I don't think he likes me. He's older, right? I need to give him some respect." Killa said,

"He's indeed a senpai, and we need to respect him, but the way you did just then, it's called fear...like you're scared of him to kill you or something," Maki said, waiting, "What happened?" she didn't have patience enough.

"I helped him from other guys punching him," Killa said. Maki was shocked. "And he told me that he doesn't like violence...but I punched that guy in front of him," she said and looked slightly down. Maki could see in her cat eyes.

"Then what else?"

"He took me to the principal's office and the class, and I think I said something unpleasant to him. He might hate me so..."

"So that's why you avoid his face?" Maki asked, so Killa nodded. "Then why is he looking at you right now?" Maki asked after noticing the glance.

"Hm?" Killa glanced at him to see if Maki was right. 

"I'm not surprised that you fell for Daiki Senpai." Maki continued.

"Daiki?" Killa seemed to be interested in the topic.

"It's his name."

"Oh, and why?" She was curious,

"Because he's at the top of the high rank I told you about. He's good at studying and sports. He's super rich and very handsome." Maki said calmly. Killa listened quietly, "If I were you, I wouldn't be involved with him, even other people; most girls are into him and want to catch him to be his girlfriend...he's also popular among guys in the opposite ways, though. You told me you helped him from those thugs, right? They aren't just that group...other guys don't like him that much..."

"Why?" Killa asked instantly,

"Jealousy...maybe? But Daiki senpai just let them do whatever they want, so they couldn't care any less about right and wrong." she paused, "but the way you told me. I think he doesn't dislike you. You see, he doesn't talk with other girls much. He never ever starts the conversation first–and never–walks a girl to the class. Even though he's still polite and friendly and very charming." Killa listened carefully. "Come on," Maki got up and then told her to get to class.

"And if you're still into him...don't need to worry...you can win other girls sooo—easily," Maki whispered while we were leaving the cafeteria.

"Hm?" Killa made the sound of curiousness,

"Who's not gonna fall for you." Maki stopped walking, raised her hands to touch her cheeks, and laughed.

Suddenly, two girls were standing in the way.

"Oh," Maki was a bit surprised,

"You're a new girl?" A blonde girl said to Killa, who looked slightly older, but Killa didn't say anything.

"Hi, senpai," Maki greeted her and bowed her head a little bit,

Killa just watched.

The blonde girl seemed not too pleased. "Seems like a new girl doesn't know a way around here?"

"Sorry, Senpai! Killa..." Maki was a little sweaty and looked at Killa,

"What?" Killa asked with a steady face.

"You have no manners!" another blonde girl shouted at her, and at that moment, everybody in the cafeteria turned to look at them. Then, someone walked towards them and stood beside Killa.

"D-Daiki!?" Two blonde girls suddenly looked embarrassed.

Killa looked up and saw Daiki senpai. Her sparkling eyes started to twizzle.

"You should bow." Daiki senpai whispered to Killa and put his hand on her back. Killa bowed as he said, and then Senpai lightly grabbed her arm, "Not too much." He whispered in her ears while pulling her up. He was teaching her. Everybody watched them curiously. "She's new," he said,

"Ahh, yes!" the First blonde girl said with a big smile.

"Maki...shall we go?" Killa cut the conversation,

Daiki and two blonde girls were shocked by her behavior.

"Yes!" Maki nervously replied, "We have to go, Senpais. Have a good day!" Maki quickly said to them, bowed, and looked at Killa to do the same. 'Bow Killa bow,' Maki told her with her eyes.

Killa bowed to Daiki first and then bowed to blonde girls without saying anything like a robot, and then Maki dragged her out of there.

'Is she still mad at me?' Daiki thought.

"She's so clueless!!" Blonde girls said out loud,

"Daiki...you know her?" Blonde girl number one asked,

"Everybody knows her," Daiki said and smiled a little,

"Oh, of course, she's new here. Everybody talks about her. But you are so kind, teaching a new girl like that," Blonde girl number two said,

"It's just a senpai duty to teach them, isn't it?" Daiki said,

"Yess! You are so right!!! And how..."

"I gotta go. I have...stuff to do at student council," Daiki cut the conversation,

"By—e." Daiki left before they couldn't even finish the word.

'What am I doing?' She definitely avoided me. She looked scared of me. Scared? Me? Back then, she was fearless with those thugs, and she didn't care a word about those two girls. But when I came, her behavior changed. She was surely scared of me, but I'm not a gangster!' Daiki thought while walking.
